Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D ...

The chromosome 22 sequence turned out to be a good preview of what the whole genome had in store. The spacing of repeated sequences along the chromosome and the presence of large-scale duplications ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...
